Why ? They address a VERY important point which was actually introduced by you as a "gamey" or "exploits" tactic.

No Oleg. This thread is not for discussions of what is gamey or what is not gamey. It is for compiling a list of what MIGHT BE considered gamey by some people. If you want to talk about what is gamey or not in your opinion, do it elsewhere.

So back to list complilation...

1. Trading with AIs.
2. Building multiple training facilities on each planet in a sector (moons) to multiply the training rate.
3. Retroseries building.
4. Surrendering to allies to merge empires together.
5. Surrendering to an ally or other 3rd party to keep what is left of your empire from going to the enemy.
6. Surrendering your empire when you just want to leave the game.
7. Surrendering to the empire attacking you.
8. Intelligence projects.
9. Gifting/trading planets.
10. Gifting a planet for the primary purpose of keeping an another player alive.
11. Tech sharing.
12. Gifting/trading population.
13. Gifting/trading colony techs.
14. Min/maxing empire setup.
15. Allies laying mines in the same sector to get more than 100 mines in it.
16. Turtling yourself into a corner using Warp Point closers and System Gravitational Shields.
17. Declaring war on an ally and attacking at the same turn.
18. Moving ships over enemy planets and then declaring war to bypass mine fields.
19. Email diplomacy between players when races haven't met in the game yet.
20. Gifting/trading ships.
21. Gifting ships to an ally to get around the maximum ship limits.
22. Allied victory or Last Man Standing victory conditions must be chosen and declared, or there will usually be some friction towards the end of the game.

I think you probably do want to add the Talisman, as it's come up in this context. So has combining Talisman with low aggressiveness.

How about annoying/deceptive shipsets?

How about ramming?

First of all, why you are so rude ?

Second, you want to compile a list of what MIGHT BE considered gamey by some people. OK, building better ships than mine - it is definetly gamey by my standarts Wonna to include it ?
